Rising privacy concerns and imminent data regulation are combining to make consent a key issue for the digital economy. MEF’s Consumer Trust Working Group examines the topic in a new whitepaper: Understanding Digital Consent.

A comprehensive guide to digital consent in the personal data economy, the whitepaper looks at the regulatory requirements as well as the innovative models and technologies being trialled to help businesses implement best practice when it comes to data permissions for collecting, sharing and storing data.

The new digital economy depends on the flow of data to create attractive and targeted products and services. Building trusted relationships with consumers and companies offering such services requires the implementation of clear, understandable consent. Problems can quickly arise when companies are not transparent about what data they require and why.
